Problem with the App also when pairing 2 together

May 3, 2017

The speaker sounds great for a small speaker the only problem is when pairing 2 speakers together the JBL Connect App has a problem recognizing the other speaker so u can put it in stereo mode also when the two speaker are paired together one will drop out every one else in a while .Thats why I bought 2 speakers so I can have them in stereo mode but I'm having problems with that ,so I will be returning mine .Hopefully JBL with correct this issue other wise the speaker is great when working

BUY IT! AMAZING FULL SOUND FROM A LITTLE SPEAKER

April 21, 2017

I bought a wireless bluetooth speaker for outdoors and I was excited because it was shockproof, sandproof, waterproof, you name it. The sound was beyond awful. Bringing it back the customer service rep suggested one we were out of. Yet he said try the bose. I bought it and asked if we could test it. He pulled out his phone and said sure. The Bose was over the top bass heavy. The beats were great but the muddy sound left nothing for the vocals or mid range. Returning it, I went back to the floor and found these guys. One of the associates said the new ones are more than splash proof, that you can put these babies in the water and the sound was improved. There so new they didn't have a display but I picked one up and went back to customer service. After buying it the rep again let us use his phone and WOW!!!!! He was even blown away by how full and amazing the sound was. It sounded like one of the high end speakers out of the Magnolia store. Yet it's only $99. This is a no brainer for someone looking or high quality sound in a portable outdoor/indoor speaker! JBL made a fine product and I will be enjoying this for a long time to come! My wife has already taken it over so i'm thinking about buying another one for me. lol

all purpose speakers for small mid sized crowd

April 24, 2017

I purchased this product after inheriting a car without a working stereo. Rather than purchasing a new radio with Bluetooth, along with speakers and a Mic, I went this route and I'm glad I did. It's great four small groups. Other than in the car, I use it while listening to music in the home and shower, and I take it with me most places that I go. Sound quality is comparable to others in this price range, with better midrange and a higher clarity than the others that I heard. The competitors have slightly better bass, that's not to say that the bass is bad, it's just others make it more of a priority. I feel that the flip 4 has a much better all around sound, others aren't as clear. The Bluetooth range is pretty good as well.

Perfect!

WaterPROOF! Great volume heights! Accidentally dropped it 4 times on the same-day of purchase and had NO scratch or marks. (fell out of 4yo bike-basket as she kept falling). Literally compatible for any scenario.

Bose SL Mini sounds like a Toy against the JBL

April 24, 2017

Wow. JBL just made the best speaker (flip 3) in its category even better. I didn't think you could "up" the game of the Flip 3. However JBL just did that.
For me the most important thing is always the Quality of the Sound. Owner of the JBL Flip 3 and Xtreme (The reference on the Market) I was gravitating around the BT Speakers area testing all of the usual suspects (Bose, Sony, Altec Lansing, Beats, UE Boom) Nothing Spectacular, even the new Bose 360 didn't really put a smile on my face. Then I saw that the Flip 4 just arrived. I put out the cash for it as I wanted to test it in my own terms.
Went back home tested against my JBL Flip 3 and oh my..... the difference is clear. And I mean clear and crisp. My father in law left his Bose soundlink Mini 2 and was an oportunity to test them head to head.
The Bose sounded like a kitchen radio compared to the JBL flip 4. The Clarity, Crispness, soundstage is on another level. Let alone the style (The bose looks like it was designed after and old CRT TV). The JBL just looks so tight and well made. It is Waterproof and gets up to 12 hours play time and you can use it anywhere you want it. Just simply the best speaker out there. I didn't believe Bose was not that good (You know, the Audiophile Cousin of the Family told me so) until I tested.
Superbly done JBL, superbly done.
PS: I just feel sorry for my Father in law when he hears the difference. Well I guess I will let him play with my JBL Flip 4!!! ;-)

The speakers are louder than I would have thought compared to some brands that cost much more. Try this out in the store to compare

A powerful sound for a compact speaker
Posted by: vanessaramrattan from: on Let me begin my saying I am not a speaker person but I needed one for when I am listening to music or having a few friends over. This speaker fulfills both roles and is so loud I can even have a party. This speaker has an incredible sound just like a stereo set and is so small that I can carry it anywhere! It is value for money . I actually did go in store and compared it to the Bose Sound Link and this JBL has a much louder volume and is also clearer sound and for the price, you can not go wrong.
